Every Friday, I will post two (2) new instrumentals for participants.
Download the instrumental and upload a link (YouTube links perfect) of your beat sampled from the instrumental
Upload the link and post it here on SteemIt with the first tag as #beatbattle
Post your submission as a comment on any of the Beat Battle posts this week and they will be accounted for.
Links no longer than 4 minutes long. If the judges want to listen of four minutes of epic music why not let them.
Make sure to put a tag of your Steemit username in the beat so we know you created it.
Post can include information on how you created the beat.
Link must be submitted by 11:59PM EST / UTC 4:00 AM on Wednesday.
Both these beats were obtained by myself so I give the contestants full right to distribute your final product in whatever way you deem fit. I want to see a bunch of Steemit original songs out there and what better way then to lay the foundation with beats you have rights to.
You can use one or both of these beats to sample from in your submission.

You can also post your link on your own blog, but in order for your submission to be judged more efficiently and effectively, just submit it directly on the blog post. if you do not mind.
Still post it up on your blog for your followers to see though, and don't forget to use the #beatbattle tag as the first tag in your post.

Hmm I though this week is going to be original beats without samples..
Yeah as one of the contestants last week we thought we would pivot and reward the people apart of this community. Kind of like an additional bonus prize. We have plenty of weeks my friend. The beat Battle League is ever going so years from now it will still be going. Working on the interactive leaderboard and ranking system now so that should be up this week.
But we can do that next week or the week following if thats what the community wants no problem at all. But if you want to make something with these beats our lawyers got you. The rights will be secured.
